instead of using modifiers species ought to lean more into having a longer list of various more granular traits to portray their strengths and abilities, these traits ought to cover and influence a vast array of gameplay scenarios so that they come up often, only having a few niche situations...

for the samurai maybe a longbow? or just forgo a ranged weapon to focus entirely in on melee combat, a refluffed rapier and shortsword combo with the two-weapon fighting style and the defensive duelist feat? and give them the ability to cast compelled duel (or something to a similar effect...

given dragonborn in 24' have their daily flight i'd offer the possibility of wings, better that than the energy ones IMO, i'd also give them cosmetic tails as standard.

isn't the idea that though the original parents will have died and even if their children are also getting near that point if each of those five children went on to have their own 3-5 kids it's just exponential, a hundred years ago there was only the human couple, now there's 15-25 humans who...

for eldritch knight the abilities i'd give them would riff somewhat off war bond, war magic as well as nicking inspiration from the paladin's smite, war bond trait would just be letting them poof-recall their weapon to their hand, let them toss something that's not usually throwable like a big...

well i'd say for the colours at least i'd tag BM as silver and EK as violet/purple

just to make sure, are you specifically asking about the 24' fighter subclasses or are the 14' ones fair game too?

the problem trying to be solved here (or one of them at least) is not being tied to a specific class and/or subclass for your pet.

oh i see where you're coming from now. i can't say i really care for allowing that kind of scenario, but if i had to it would at least be a party boon than tied to a specific character.

why would the pet of a dedicated pet class be weaker than a pet subclass pet of a normally petless class? the pet class dedicates more of it's budget into making the pet itself stronger, they both have the same total budget for power. a pet subclass pet will be weaker than the dedicated pet...

if there was a pet class i still wouldn't see it as limiting useful pets solely to that class, if there was a pet class that wouldn't mean a drakewarden is any less powerful, it just offers a different distribution of power between character and pet, the pets of the dedicated class would be...

for more information on snarf's thoughts about gygax's use of signals q.v how to go full monty haul in AD&D.

i think dwarves are popular, but in that subtle and unobtrusive way where they're just a staple of the background, so nobody really appears to give much of a fig about them until you try to take them away and people object because it would feel like they're missing.

personally i'd fill those slots out with goblins/hobs, grung (if they could drop the water dependency) and genasi, goblins are a small species and i think are too iconic to not include, grung are a bit of a wildcard pick but as an aquatic animal species i think can have their own niche here...

fighter goes B O N K

but 'wanting' or 'hoping' and the dice roll isn't the important part of the action resolution of what makes them different from each other, attacking the orc is a closed-potential outcome, there isn't any possibilities beyond 'hit' or 'miss' when you attempt to resolve the action. deciphering...

Well, high fantasy settings do tend to have the fallback excuse of ‘it’s literally magic’, like the order performs a special ritual to bond rider to dragon.

considering the topic is being considered i thought i might share this 12min video that came up in my YT feed

@TorgoTheWhite is post 20,730 just Mort's quote or am i not seeing something? if so should i assume your following post is meant to a response to said previous quote?

personally from what i can parse, with backgrounds being given more weight with origin feats i feel like PDK would probably fare better as a background with Inspiring Leader as it's origin feat, leave banneret as a more generic support fighter, though identify it as the 'traditional' PDK archetype.
